A Truly Sweat-Proof Mascara

I've tried so many different water proof mascaras (from Too Faced, Urban Decay, and Tarte) and usually within the first two or three hours it just starts melting off my lashes and smudges all my lower lid line. I don't even put mascara on my lower lashes, it just comes off from my upper lashes when I blink. I don't rub my eyes either, I make it a point not to touch my face when I put on eye makeup in fear of this. Currently using Cannonball from Urban Decay which seems to melt the least but it still happens. Was trying to avoid the really pricy mascaras, but at this point I will try anything. Please Help!!!!

RE: A Truly Sweat-Proof Mascara

Try tubing mascaras (e.g. Trish McEvoy or Kevyn Aucoin volume mascaras). They are budge proof and you can take them off easily - with warm water and a bit of pressure. No raccoon eyes ever.

Re: A Truly Sweat-Proof Mascara

I would recommend one of the lancome waterproof mascara's. They all tend to be really waterproof for me. One time I went to a Jimjilbang ( a Korean spa with different saunas, hot tub, facial/ massage, etc). I forgot to bring my makeup remover, and I just could not get my mascara off! So after being in different saunas ( with lots of steam), hot tubs, a cucumber facial... I looked in the mirror, my mascara was probably ~70-80% there on my lashes(there was some transfer to underneath my eyes, but I would say it performed pretty well)

Re: A Truly Sweat-Proof Mascara

 I highly recommend checking out Blinc.

 

I have tried a TON of mascaras - UD, Tarte, Too Faced, Clinique, Benefit, Lancome, Nars, Bobbie Brown, Sephora, Dior, just to name a few. I've even used lash primer. Within minutes I've got racoon eyes.

 

I think I just have super oily eye areas. Blinc is the first mascara ever that has not given me racoon eyes, smudged, or flaked.

The buxom mascara is really good. I could go swimming with it and it won't come off!

too faced make a waterproof version of there better then sex line. it works really well. also dust a powder. between coats and it will help hold a ton!

Re: A Truly Sweat-Proof Mascara

Dior Show waterproof works great and stays all day without smudging or flaking. It doesn't dry out the lashes like a lot of waterproof mascaras.  I do use it with a primer and my lashe look lush and natural. Good Luck!

An additional chime-in... I went through the same spectacle last spring looking for a sweat-proof and waterproof mascara as I was trying to get fit for the summer. I tried Too faced Better Than Sex Waterproof(which felt great but smudged no matter what I did to set it properly), Tarte's Lights Camera Splashes (went on well but didn't get the coverage/volume I had expected and only seemed to last a short while), Lancôme's Hypnôse Drama Waterproof (applied okay sometimes clumpy and always ended up flaking off everywhere yet being hard to remove), and even in a desperate move went back again to try Maybelline's waterproof mascara (which used to be pretty good years ago but now seems like a completely different formula). After all these disappointments, I was checking the sephora website for options and noticed how often Clinique's High Impact Waterproof Mascara kept selling out and thought I'd give that one a try once it became available... For me it went on smoothly without clumping, lasted all day without flaking or smudging, and even gave me some of the volume that I was hoping for! That is "the one" so far, IMO, yet I enjoy testing new options when convenient. I hope the community responses have helped and that your search goes well! Good luck! 💋

The chanel waterproof mascara IS THE BEST. It looks great and is smudge proof as well. Even when u take ur make up off or wash ur face u wouldnt even realise u got ur mascara off . I never likes mascaras bcuz of the same reason. All these years i just stayed away from mascara. And the only mascara am in love with is the chanel one. 

I'd like to definitely give that one a try! 😄

Re: A Truly Sweat-Proof Mascara

My face sweats like crazy and every mascara and eyeliner I've ever tried has transferred. I haven't found a eyeliner yet that has stayed put but the waterproof Better Than Sex seems to stay on pretty well. There was one day where I was sweating pretty bad and it transferred a little but nothing like anything else I've ever used. 

RE: A Truly Sweat-Proof Mascara

Have you tried applying a priming mascara? I suggest the Lancôme Cils Booster. It works wonders.

I also think you should give the Lancome booster a try. I...

I agree with @Micost and also think you should give the Lancome booster a try, @BrooklynSelmi IMPO, it works quite well with both waterproof and regular mascara.
